Second Skin : motion capture with actuated feedback for motor learning
Second Skin aims to combine three-dimensional (3D) motion tracking with tactile feedback for the purpose of improving users' motor-learning ability. Such a system would track a user's body and limb movements as he or she performs an action, and then give the user automatic, real-time tactile …

Markerless 3D Motion Capture of Cheetahs in the Wild
3D motion-capture is essential for research in biomechanics and biomedical engineering. It can provide insight into performance and injury prevention in sport, diagnosis of illnesses and disorders as well as help biologists to study animals and help engineers to design bio-inspired robots. …

Validation of a novel 2D motion analysis system to the gold standard in 3D motion analysis for calculation of sagittal plane kinematics
… and follow up of gait disorders. Instrumented 3D gait analysis is often financially and technically inaccessible in clinical environments. Other established methods of gait analysis include video and visual observation scores; however these techniques rely on subjective clinical expertise. The …

The assessment of fatigue-related changes in stride mechanics, variability and long-range correlations in recreational and elite distance runners using foot-mounted inertial sensors
… displayed excellent levels of agreement with a 3D motion capture system as the criterion. Subsequently, the same setup was used to track a set of gait variables in a group of elite and recreational runners during an exhaustive overground run. It was established that long-range correlations …

A Kinematic Comparison Of Shoulder And Elbow Dynamics Influenced By The Shoe-Surface Interface In Youth And Adolescent Baseball Pitchers
… (mc x fg, mc x pm, ts x fg, ts x pm). A 3d motion capture system collected full-body kinematics and electromyography (emg) data. Three pitches thrown without marker obstruction in each condition were analyzed and averaged for each participant. A 2x2 [2 surfaces (fg, pm) x 2 footwear (ts, …

Development and Validation of Clinically Feasible Methods to Assess Landing Mechanics in Patients Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
… program. This method was validated against a 3D motion capture system for measuring a fixed angle and for measuring sagittal plane running kinematics. Third, we found that the new video analysis method is valid relative to 3D motion capture and is repeatable between days for assessing frontal …

Development, Validation, and Testing of a Novel Ergonomic Backpack
… backpack, with two loads (7 kg and 11 kg). A 3D motion capture system recorded electromyography and kinematic data, while the force treadmill recorded ground reaction forces. Kinetic and kinematic variable calculations were used to determine trunk angle and muscle powers at each major joint. …

A Dynamic Ankle Orthosis for Alleviating Mechanical Foot and Ankle Pain, Preserving Joint Motion, and Restoring Patient Function
… but they can also significantly hinder joint motion and limit function. The Dynamic Ankle Orthosis (DAO) was created with the intent to alleviate pain using an offloading mechanism without interfering with natural joint motion. This dissertation presents the development, benchtop validation, …

Comparison of a Dynamic Ankle Orthosis to a Walking Boot for Preserving Ankle Joint Motion and Reducing Tibial Bone Load and Strain
… boot for 3 – 12 weeks, which limits ankle motion and causes lower limb muscle atrophy. A Dynamic Ankle Orthosis (DAO) provided a distractive force that offloaded the ankle and retained sagittal ankle excursion during walking. It remains unclear how tibial loading is affected by a walking …

The Effect of Spinal Cord Stimulation and Video Games Training on Body-machine Interface Control
… of several inertial measurement units (IMUs) to capture the residual mobility of the participant’s body and translate it into the ability to control a two-dimensional (2D) cursor on a computer screen. Participants can manipulate this 2D computer cursor by using their residual body movements to …
